Malegaon

Mumbai, November 19: The probe into how Hindu outfits accused of terrorism had links with some Army men brought a few business houses under the scanner of Maharashtra's ATS and Central Security agencies investigating the finances of the group allegedly responsible for Malegaon blast.

Sources attached with the probe said that a religious leader from Southern Gujarat was one of those who collected funds from the business houses.

Working on the chain of events about finances of the Abhinav Bharat, a little know saffron outfit allegedly involved in the September 29 Malegaon blast that left six people dead, sources said names of some of the business houses in Maharashtra as well as Gujarat cropped up.

A check was being done whether the business houses were aware about the end use of funds. "We have questioned some of them and we are working to ascertain as to how much of money had been handed over to the saffron outfit," a senior probe official said on the condition of anonymity.

The names of the business houses were not divulged for security reasons.

The money was generally collected by a self-styled religious leader hailing from Gujarat and efforts to seek his custody had not fructified so far, they said.

DONT DESTROY THE SECULAR FABRIC OF COUNTRY by gopinath on 19 Nov 2008

THE ATS NEVER SHOWED SO MUCH N INVESTIGATING CASES WHEN THERE WAS BLAST IN 1993

Business houses funded terror group, says ATS by Vox Indica on 19 Nov 2008

Does the ATS want to make it a soap opera by releasing information in bits and dribbles to increase TV channels' TRP ratings because they are not able to air new episodes? The investigation appear to be a a burlesque designed for entertainment or a political charade to serve certain vested interests. In the process the fair name of a ten thousand year old religion and the career of a fine army officer seem to be sacrificed at the altar of political expediency. What next? Name the leaders of the principal opposition so that they can be eliminated from the electoral race once for all. It is not beyond the ruling establishment - it has done it once with the Jain Hawala case; it may do it again with the Malegoan blasts case. In the process India's fight against terrorism is the caualty but who cares? All that matters are a few votes and if some young people are to be the sacrificial lambs it is all in the good cause of secularism!

Bussiness Houses by Pran on 19 Nov 2008

Now ATS has become the final authority to level who is terrorist and who is not.

Malegaon Blasts by Srimanta on 19 Nov 2008

This whole Malegaon Blasts is planned and executed by Central Government of India using their intelligence agencies and Army. This is one known weapon used by the Monmohan Government to counter attack the Jehadis and other terrorists group. The Army and civilian people are constantly attacked by terrorists. These sudden attacks are like unknown weapon used on them. To counter this attack Monmohan Government planed with RAW and other intelligence agencies and used Army and executed few bomb blasts in India. That had a great effect. Because the terrorists will fear to attack using the same weapon because they now know that, though these Hindu people are very coward by nature and remaining in mode of goodness of Gandhi but the Army may attack to their own people using the same weapon what they are currently using for terror. These kind of counter attacks may reduce the terrorist attacks on Indian soil further.

HINDU TERRORISM by Feroz on 19 Nov 2008

As stated by Shallabh Khera,""Muslims r funded by hindus""". My foot, blady hell...... ur temple funds r sufficient 2 feed ur pandits

Isn't it weird. by R.K.Baqaya on 19 Nov 2008

Isn't it weird that when the whole world is talking of Islamic terrorism,some traitor Hindus are leaving no stone unturned to coin the word "Hindu Terrorism".Must be the first instance of its kind where people are branding their own religion.We have to beware of these traitors which includes some influential people of the media who are known to be on the payroll of ISI and certain groups funding terror from middle east.

Political investigatios by Chandrakant Marathe on 19 Nov 2008

Dear all Indians, This is a wake up call to all Rashtriya forcrs. Congress is stooping so low thaT IT WANTS TO COMMUNALISE AND POLARISE iNDIA for the sake of winning elections. Some one rightly said, where are the culprits who did hundreds of blasts in the past 10 years?? now ATS wants to score browny poits by putting forward Hindu terrorist theory. We have lost faith in Indian investigation system. I have not seen ay blast case being solved by our police in the last 20 years. Its only political gimmics......

A time will come when hindus will rule the waves. by Rudeboy on 19 Nov 2008

This is all Media Bakwas and orchastrated decitsbeing purported by the chickenory cabal, who have nothing better to contribute, in nation building.They pretend to be whiter than white and politically uncivilised, who shamelessly try to be champions of Hindus, but We know on the contrary they are all scamsatrs and fraudstars,who use hindu name as ruse to carry out their dirty activities,like stealing and looting Hindu wealths. What is repulsive and dispicable, is how the scumbags go about concocting their own false make believe fairy tales and allegations.It is time to re read the History and ascertain the ground truth.The media must stop demonoising hindus.to the hindu apologists get lost and do something useful.Time for blaberring is over.

Daily magic show of ATS by Varinder on 19 Nov 2008

It appears ATS has no solid evidence hence coming up with new theories on daily basis. If ATS has any concrete proof against Col. Prohit or Pargaya Singh or anyone else then it should present in the court so that culprits could be punished quickly. Too much inventions of new stories won't help Congress or UPA in elections and this stunt of ATS will unite hindus more and BJP will be benefitted. Hindus won't take so much silently and will answer with the ballot.

How come? by Rajesh on 19 Nov 2008

How come ATS were not able to same progress and conduct and find similar leads with the SIMI blasts over the last 5 years. In just one month so much progress made in the investigation is very suspicious.

Fear politics by vijay on 19 Nov 2008

Now it is clear to me why so much news in English media and why so much talk about only this particular blast ignoring all the blasts in india. By generating a term like " hindu terror'' and publicizing it they want to create terror in people's mind and create a general defamation about hindu community and outfits. And all these effort only to get votes by creating terror -same fear politics that Bush played in US earlier. Dirty Vote bank politics.

this investigation looks more political and less of a police job.

ATS info on Malegaon blasts by Bahurupia Chaalbaaz on 19 Nov 2008

I can't wait to tell you about this: A highly placed source in ATS phoned me just now to tell that Barack Obama and Osama-bin-laden had actually reached a secret agreement to give a bad name to India and it was they who organised and financed the Malegaon blasts.

malegaon to foreign countries? by NASINGH on 19 Nov 2008

Sir, these outfits are also collecting funds in Europe, USA, Canada etc.Where are all these funds going? Have we Hindu's really build up a Al-Qaida like network around the globe which is funding their activities?

What about other blasts? by Rags on 19 Nov 2008

What about other blasts? People who died in other blasts are not human beings? What about those Terrorists who killed so many innocent people in other cases? After the blasts, Muslim terrorists group have openly claimed that they have done it, what about these cases? Lives of minority people is a big concern, people of this soil are negligible? Congress and UPA, you are overwhelming minority and destroying the sentiments of Hindus. Hindus, the simple immediate solution is go and vote. Make it 100 percent. Most of your problems will be solved.

A big conspiracy is going to declare entire hindu as terrorists just to capture muslim votes by Monica Agarwal on 19 Nov 2008

Brain mapping of RR Patil and ATS Bombay needs to be done as this case appears a big conspiracy to defame entire hindus as terrorists. All Hindus should get united to expose nefarious designs of anti-Hindu Islamic secular Congress and its allies.

Hindu terrorism by B.V.SHENOY on 19 Nov 2008

We must give credit to the ATS in Mumbai for the regularity with which it comes out with its daily instalments of delicious concoctions. Now, it has become more and more believable that there is whole NCP-Congress gang which is scripting the tales to fill the void created by the strike in the TV entertainment industry. And the ATS is only too willing.

UPA government is nothing but a Muslim terrorist Government by Mrs Bhanumati on 19 Nov 2008

Let us not forget that muslims are ruling the country through secular forces and JaiChandi hindus. UPA government is nothing but a Muslim terrorist Government.

Muslims are funded by hindus. by shallabh khera on 19 Nov 2008

We give tributes at temples. Then temples money is taken by the government of India to send Muslim jehadis to get trained in their Haj training camp. Then the money also goes to the Madrasas to give training.That means Hindus fund muslim terrorism???I means what ATS speaks... just answer who is the master mind of Malegaon blasts? their answer changed thrice.... then what was used...?? first ammonium nitrate and now RDX... We should do brainmapping of the ATS as what are their real motives.. to turn everything anti-hindu...
